MOSCOW (AFP) - Russian scientists claim to have discovered the wreck of an alien device at the site of an unexplained explosion in Siberia almost a hundred years ago, the Interfax news agency reported.
The scientists, who belong to the Tunguska space phenomenon public state fund, said they found the remains of an extra-terrestrial device that allegedly crashed near the Tunguska river in Siberia in 1908.
They also claim to have discovered a 50-kilogram (110-pound) rock which they have sent to the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk for analysis.
The Tunguska blast, in a desolate part of Siberia, remains one of the 20th century's biggest scientific mysteries.
On June 30, 1908, what is widely believed to be a meteorite exploded a few kilometers above the Tunguska river, in a blast that was felt hundreds of kilometers (miles) away and devastated over 2,000 square kilometers of Siberian forest.
But the exact nature of the body that exploded and its origin remain a mystery which has spurred countless theories and controversies.
Hush, Hush,...........'Ukrainians'.....

They sent a rock out for analysis, but not an alien "device"? Huh?
I heard that it was the Russians who confirmed the identity of King Tut when his tomb was discovered. After a half hour with the KGB, he confessed.
"The timing here is veeeerrrry suspicious. Bush and Putin have obviously concocted this weird tale to divert attention from the ever-increasing collapse of the economy, the worsening plight of the homeless, and the continued resistance by Muslim freedom fighter/heroes in Iraq, Chechnya, and Detroit Palestine."
